Pros

UMC provides foundry working experience for new graduate to explore process technology, design support, and customer support.

Cons

UMC is 2nd tier foundry and the top management team is 2nd class executives who don't have good strategy. Their strategy is to match TSMC process technology. Their existence is to provide another competition for fabless company such that they have alternative to negotiate price with TSMC. Their business will be very subject to the business cycle of semiconductor industry.

Pros

Oriental culture, nice and humble working level people

Cons

Deficiency organization - people not doing what they suppose to do of their titles. Work load can be drastically different without a fair KPI system. Lack of direction and leadership - sub par management team, cannot make up their minds what to do. Decision leave unattended even at the head of house hold level. Inconsistency - management pops different ideas all the time and constantly changing, but not necessary toward to the right direction. A 30-year old company feels like 3 month old. High turn over rate - management believes the people left were simply not suitable to this place
